Thanksgiving Around the World

At Thanksgiving time, I thought it might be appropriate to consider food resources and hunger around the world. When my kids are taking their bath and fill the tub with almost as much water as it can hold, I remind them that some kids have to walk for hours just to get water, and then it's still not water that we're used to. I thought you might have fun with this video game.
From the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian agency, Food Force is a free educational video game telling the story of a hunger crisis on the fictitious island of Sheylan.
Comprised of 6 mini-games or “missions”, the game takes young players from an initial crisis assessment through to delivery and distribution of food aid, with each sequential mission addressing a particular aspect of this challenging process.
As you enjoy your dinner, thank God for all the blessings He's given us and say a prayer for those around the world who do not have as much as you.
